YPF.........................Wollmeise Paul

I studied History of Art at school many moons ago! One project I was assigned in that time was to do a study of the Artists from a particular 'period' that interested me. I chose Post-Impressionist painters as their works were and still are my favourite. I have prints of Seurat, Cross and Gauguin on my Living room wall which I searched for for many years before finding them in the shop at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Claudia from Wollmeise also has an interest in this period and has named 4 new yarns after some of the artists including Paul which todays yarn is named after. Way to go Claudia I could not resist this particular colourway ever!! Now I have the perfect colour for my Firestarters and since I have done a toe up sock now I can contemplate beginning these, after I have finished 3 projects, I did promise. :)





This skein is sockenwolle and so soft!!!

I love her new artist series. I remember reading her blog post about these new colors and I thought they were marvelously spot on.

That sock yarn just looks great, I'm really looking forward to how the Firestarters will loop in it :)
